Chicken McNuggets (my personal favourite) or a Filet-O-Fish (does anyone actually order this?) are worth 6.5 points on the Weight Watchers programme. Dieters are allowed to consume 18 to 40 points each day meaning that someone could be justified in cramming around 40 golden nuggets down their gullet. Get in!

Weird. But I guess Weight Watchers assumes (probably correctly) that many dieters are likely to find themselves at a McDonald's at some point, so it's better to give them some guidance on choosing the least nutritionally damaging stuff in the restaurant.
